Interesting blood work review
When I asked my doctor about the elevated levels, he didn’t have an answer or an explanation. He only suggested that I was taking something else along with TRT. Which, if I was, then I wouldn’t be asking him why my levels were elevated nor would I be posting on this forum asking for opinions.- DRay

Interesting blood work review
I’ve being going to the same pharmacy for three years and they have been supplying me with the same concentration at the same dose. I suppose it’s possible that they changed sources or what oil it is mixed with?- DRay

A Few questions on HCG to maintain fertility
I use AI as needed. I am low SHBG in the 20’s however I have crashed my E2 plenty of times by taking too much (.25 mg has crashed me before) so I try to stay away if possible. I have not taken such a high HCG dose along with my TRT before so I will be monitoring E2 closely.- DRay

Fertility success! Now back to TRT
My doctor prescribed me 100mg/day clomid which was a LARGE amount and the side effects were pretty bad. I titrated down to 25mg/day and that was tolerable. I got on clomid solely for the purpose of conception so I was okay with higher dosing and temporarily dealing with negative effects to...- DRay

Low T, Low E2, High SHBG=high prolactin?
My free T is a 10 on a 9-26.5 reference range and I feel the effects of that. I have negative symptoms which is why I pulled bloodwork. My numbers are off and that confirms my symptoms. Which is why the concern with numbers. The concern with SHBG is so I can increase my free T. I have always...- DRay

Low T, Low E2, High SHBG=high prolactin?
Yes, my symptoms definitely got worse after taking AI and tanking E2. I get that part. I won’t be taking an AI. BUT...what I don’t understand is why my T levels have lowered and SHBG has doubled. I’m going to stick with my total weekly dose of 200mg but try E3D injections to increase T and...- DRay
